To all whom it may concern: 4 4 Be it known that I, WnmM H. Um- MANN, a'citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, in the 5 county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Lens-Mountings, of which the following is a specification. r

This invention relates to frameless eyeglasses and spectacles, and more especially to that class of eyeglasses in'which the lenses are gagied by a rlgid bridge to which are pivotally connected the nose grips by which the eyeglasses are supported on the nose of 5 the wearer. I

The present improvement is a division of the subject matterof my original a plication for Letters Patent Serial 486,485, filed March 29, 1909, and has for its 0 object to provide a simple and eflective connection between a rimless lens and its carrying yoke or clip, and by which a durable attachment is attained in a'mannerwhich permlts of a limited elastic movement between the parts adapted to very efi'ectivel accidental breakage of the lens, ail hereinafter more ully appear.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1, is a perspective view of a finger piece eyeglass mounting embodyin the present improvement. Flg. 2, is a the attachment between the lens and the bridge of a rimless eyelass. Fig. 3, is a detail erspective view 0 the same changed for either the saddle or for the end pieces of the temples of rimless spectacles.

Similar numerals of reference indicate like parts inthe difierent views.

Referring to the drawings, 1 representsa lens of a rimless eyeglass, and 2 the rigid arched bridge by which a pair of lenses are connected together in proper spaced relation, and to such end the bridge 1s provide with attaching clips or straps 3and braces 4 which engage the edges of the rimlcss lenses in the usual manner. also affords pivotal bearing for the carrying levers or arms 5 of the nose piece or grips 5 of the mounting.

The construction shownin Fig. 1 as illustrative of the application of the present 1mrovement to finger piece eyeglass mountings constitutes the subject matter of my apprevent as will umber etail elevation of.

d ended and lying bet-ween the said tongue iormmg an Such bridge.
